A short fictional story by Brian Lemin (May 2014) about Jack Tar, a young fisherman from Beer, Devon, who joins the Navy around 1815 and carves decorated lace bobbins for his sweetheart Polly, a Honiton lace maker. The narrative is illustrated with paintings, engravings and photographs of inscribed and carved East Devon bobbins, and with local scenes. A closing note explains that the author wrote the story as an excuse to use his bobbin pictures.
